## Adding Styles
</DocsTitle>

You need to put the below code to your tailwind css stylesheet file, this will add the styles for elements and formatters of the editor.

```css
.tiptap ul p,
.tiptap ol p {
  @apply inline;
}

.tiptap p.is-editor-empty:first-child::before {
  @apply pointer-events-none float-left h-0 text-sm;
}
```
